My Take
Mark Arm is grunge's living conscience to me. From Seattle and the University of Washington, he helped birth the genre with Green River and then fronted Mudhoney with that raw, sludgy, gleefully unpolished sound. The detail I love most is that he still runs the Sub Pop warehouse: no rock-star airs, just a guy who stayed close to the work. In a scene where so many flared up and burned out, his decades of consistency say everything. Real artists do not chase trends, they outlast them, and Arm has done exactly that with stubborn, admirable integrity.
